apparently the Dalai Lama is lying...

...according to these buddhist demonstrators outside the Kimmel Center, where he was speaking.
they were demonstrating against a ban by the Dalai Lama on praying to a deity called Dorje Shugden. the busy city noon crowd was greeted with a mass shrouded in gold and red, and a *soothing* chant of : "Dalai Lama, Stop Lying!"...though, i'll bet not all monks have adopted the chant as part of their spiritual practice.

(flash back: the noisy daily debates of monks at the Sera monastery in Lhasa)
